Application filed April 30, 1917. Serial No. 165,566.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED G. NORMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing: at Davenport, in'the county of Scott, State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Paper- Holder or Jogging- Board for Printing- Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a paper holder or support for use in connection with printing presses for holding the paper before and after printing, and in trade or commercial fields, this type of device is entitled jogging-board, hence, this term will be employed hereinafter in this specification.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a jogging board provided with means to be engaged by suitable projections on a partition, in order to hold the partition in different positions, whereby the paper, before and after printing, may be held even.

In practical fields, the details of construction may necessitate alterations falling within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings 2-- Figure 1 is a view in perspective of the jogging-board, constructed in compliance with the invention. 7

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view, showing a slightly different form of jogging-board,

as applied to a portion of a printing press, and illustrating in connection therewith the usual auxiliary paper holder or board.

Referring more especially to the drawings, 1 designates the usual or conventional jogging-board of a printing press and 2 is a portion of the platen of the press. ThlS jogging-board comprises a horizontal portion 8 and a vertical part or flange 4, which is adjacent the platen. Secured upon the board 1, by means of screws 5, is the improved jogging board or plate 6, which comprises the horizontal part 7 (which corresponds with and engages flat against the part 3 of the board 1) and the vertical portion or flange 8 (which corresponds with and engages the flange The horizontal por on pf th aileili r i ss s beam 6 is provided with one or more rows of rectangular openings 9, extending transversely of the board and arranged at spaced intervals. The upper edge portion of the flange 8 of the auxiliary jogging board is provided with notches 10 arranged at spaced intervals corresponding to the intervals of the openings 9. A suitable partition or plate 11 (which may be any suitable shape or configuration) is provided. The upper part of the forward edge of this partition is provided with a lug 12, which may engage any one of the notches 10, to assist in holding the partition in position, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The lower edge of the partition is provided with a pair of lugs 13, which are designed to engage any two opposite openings 9 (which are alined with the notch engaged by the lug 12) in the horizontal portion 7 of the auxiliary jogging board, to further assist in holding the partition in place. It is to be observed that by this partition, the jogging-board is divided into two compartments or spaces 14 and 15, which may vary in width, according to the adjustment of the partition. The paper to be printed may be placed in either one of the compartments or spaces, according to the one that may be considered most convenient to the pressman, and as the sheets are removed from the platen of the press, subsequently to receiving the printing impressions, they may be placed in the compartment or space. The sheets of paper before and after printing are arranged in the spaces so as to fit snugly into the corners adjacent the partition and the flange 8, thereby holding the sheets of paper with their exposed edges even or flush. By virtue of the openings PatentedNov. 26, rear.

9 and the notches 10, the partition maybe with an annular cutaway portion or recess 18 to accommodate the standard 17.
